The owner Gerry is very nice. The gym is a perfect neighborhood gym. Has everything you need on hand to get the job done for a good workout.
Gym also has trainers if you need help with your workouts and nutrition. Trainers are independent so you don't have to deal with pushy sales pitches.
Spent a summer at number one gym because I was in town for an internship. Gym was exactly what I wanted it to be and for a really good price. Owner was very nice and cared about the people who worked out at his gym. Would recommend to anyone.
I was a member of Number One Gym for more than 6 years and never gave a second thought to joining another gym.
Not only was it always clean and organized, but Gerry got to know each and every member by name and made them feel welcome. He's also quick with tips for new exercises and connections with personal trainers.
If you live in Lakeview and are looking for a great place to work out, it's hard to beat Number One Gym.
I lived a half a block away for 4 years, and was proud to be a member of this gym. Gerry is one of the most genuine people I have come across, and he is was as welcoming and friendly as one can be. The gym has everything you could need, and is very rarely too crowded. You'll start to notice a lot of familiar faces, and not get the intimidating feeling of bigger chain gyms. Can't recommend it enough.

This gym has everything you need and at the right price. The owner Gerry is extremely welcoming and knows everyone at the gym. I highly recommend this place.

Gerry is super nice. Gym has what you need to get a great workout in. No frills, no fuss. A bit hot though.

As weird as it may sound, Number One Gym is one of the best things that happened to me after moving to Chicago. I first moved to the city living on the corner of Sheffield and Belmont. I did plenty of research on gyms in the area and not only was Number One Gym very convenient for me, but it had great reviews and seemed like a great place for my fitness journey.
The first experience I ever had there was with Gerry, who is as nice as they come. He remembers every single member by name and is more than happy to have a conversation with you before/after your workout. He makes you feel so welcome and is very "low pressure" when discussing memberships.
Needless to say, I signed up and loved everything that came my way. Not only does the gym have everything you need from a workout standpoint, but Gerry and all of his members are so welcoming and friendly that it makes it a great place to workout for everyone. I was very fortunate to not only gain a ton of strength and knowledge on fitness and weight lifting, but I also made some lifelong friends at Number One Gym.
I moved around the city to locations that made the gym less and less convenient throughout my remaining years in Chicago. Leaving the gym had never crossed my mind. I was beyond fortunate to be a part of this community and ironically is one of the tougher things to leave in Chicago. I recommend Number One Gym to anyone in any area of Chicago as the price will be right, the members will be welcoming and Gerry is a great guy!
Happy lifting, Number One!

I was a member of this gym for a couple years after having memberships at several others in the Lakeview neighborhood. It has everything one could want without the pretension or the loud, annoying muscle-heads. Gerry, the owner, is great to deal with and really cares a lot about the gym and its members. He knows them ALL by name, even after just one meeting. The location is extremely convenient and prices competitive. It's seldom crowded so machines and weights are usually available. Sometimes on weekend mornings I would be the only one! It was fantastic. The only reason I had to leave was because I moved to Mexico City last month. Highly recommended!

This gym has everything you need for a good workout and is very convenient since it's right off of the Belmont redline stop. If you're in the area, this is the right place for the right price. Gerry, the owner, is the man and truly cares about maintaining a good workout environment. 10/10 gym for me.
Everything you need without the crazy price
Small gym but never too crowded. Good for weight lifting.
Good gym. Great price. Jerry is negotiable and reasonable. Not super fancy but has what you need. Perfect if you just graduated school, live in wrigleyville and need to workout before/after work. Great value and Jerry knows your name.
A very small, basic gym. Just has the basic and somewhat outdated weights/machines and treadmills. It's so small that when it's busy it's somewhat dangerous to work out there (people are lifting weights very close to one another). It's a little pricey for what you're getting. In the summer it can get very hot and humid inside. Not sure if they turn the AC on, and if they do it's not sufficient. You'll work up a sweat standing in place. On the upside, Gerry is very friendly and will give you pointers if you ask for them.
I went to this gym for almost 12 years (2005 - 2016). Easily the best deal on the north side & probably the entire city. The annual deal is only a fraction of what other memberships cost. And when I joined there weren't any b/s membership fees--which I am sure is still the case.
The gym is always clean and the equipment is usually in good, working order. I rarely saw anything that was out of order for more than a day.
Jerry, the main owner / operator, knows all his members from day one and makes a special effort to make sure that their workout experience is the best it can be...within reason. He is always open to any requests or suggestions on how to improve the gym.
This is a no frills gym that is an excellent deal relative to the price.
Great unpretentious neighborhood gym. Absolutely love it here.
This gym is for the person who is serious about working out, whether doing weights or cardio. It has just about every piece of equipment you'd want to use. What pushed this rating to five stars are the people. The owner, Gerry, gets to know all the members and is responsive to our needs. One of the coaches, Ted, is happy to answer your one-off training and nutrition questions even if you are not a client of his. Overall, the members of this gym are a community of good people who care about fitness and support each other in achieving their goals.
